Fires on Bayside beaches must comply with the NVC Fire Ordinance and Maine State Law, but any fires on village beaches during the summer season require an additional degree of care and courtesy to protect the community.
For beach fire guidelines and safe practices, please consult this helpful guide.
Bayside is filled with old, beautiful, wooden houses. We have had devastating fires in the past, and we are always on alert to the potential for stray sparks and fires.
Additionally, wood smoke from a fire without a permit can trigger a ‘false alarm’, requiring the Fire Department to moblize and respond.
